🙋🏻♂️Introducing your tourmate
- Hello! I am Kim, your tourmate for The Blue House tour. Do you have a interests about Korea's politics, economy, history, etc? Then you need to meet me in The Blue House. I have had many opportunities to meet people from various countries because I studied in Geneve Switzerland and Madrid Spain. At this time, I was trying to know a deep history of European countries. For this, sometimes, I was trying to tour with tour guide. So, if you want to know a deep/hidden history and stories, I strongly recommend to tour with tour guide just like me. So, I got a 'Tourist Guide' certification recognized by the Korea Tourism Organization.
Through The Blue House tour, I want to share with you a variety of stories from the hidden history of CheongWaDae to the current Korean society. Because, CheongWaDae was a core site of the process of modernization, democratization of South Korea.
I also look forward to exchanging views and experiencing Korea from various perspectives with you. I'll be waiting for you at CheongWaDae! See you soon.
